Frequency multiplexing of remote all-fiber Michelson interferometers with lead insensitivity

A scheme to frequency multiplex a group of sensors based on all-fiber Michelson interferometers is presented. Lead insensibility is obtained by using the two fiber leads of the configuration as an extra Michelson interferometer whose differential phase is kept constant by active compensation. Topics concerning the system design, sensor sensitivity, and crosstalk between sensors are investigated. Experimental and numerical computational results are presented.<
